Ted Cruz proposes method of getting rid of Ted Cruz

[crazy canuck]

You are conflating the issue.  Again, MiM's observation was that everyone who wishes to become a politician is suspect.  Not that some politician are corrupt.  But this is languish and the likes of Garbon hold sway here.

I am saying that feeling that way, that everybody who wishes to become a politician is suspect, is a pretty traditional American viewpoint. But then it is a pretty ancient view point that anybody who actually wants to rule is the worst person to be allowed to.

I had some time today so I read a number of political science pieces on the topic.  It turns out there isn't much of a consensus.   Some academics seem we are in the end days of democracy as faith in democratic institutions and, perhaps more importantly, participation in the democratic process decline.  However, other authors suggest that the data is not entirely convincing.

True, pretty good description of what you, CC and D4Gul did.

Right, we've also got tiresome attempts at wit like you just demonstrated.

To quote Garbon, what we say doesn't fit with his narrative.

See how that works Garbon?

Yeah, I see you, Crybaby.

I'm not the one who started crying about the decline of America.

Says the guy not in America.

Who gives a fuck how many llamas he'd got, they're not on fire.

So not one of these?
